As I've said before Amazon ranking is a very bad way to determine popularity ...
Awhile back I was curious how many of any game related product it took to get (close to) the #1 spot on Amazon.com; after watching for a couple of weeks and looking at the stock numbers for several top ranked items it turned out that #1 would be (roughly) 20 items sold per day.
Beyond that, there are lots of places that have Elite systems in stock
